UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.

They should definitely receive the state athletic commission's punishment, and any punishment the UFC deems fit above and beyond. I'm not against the reefer, but the media's eye is returning to MMA, and now is not the time for the athletes to be testing positive for any banned substance, from Benadryl to steroids to heroin.

Now, if a fighter can smoke intelligently (i.e. smokes, but has it out of their system before fight night), then that's their business.

whats the medias problem with pot? hell, whats the governments problem with pot?

The reasons the substance is illegal and the validity of those reasons is a separate issue.

If someone tests positive for pot they should not be penalized at all, they shouldnt even be testing for pot.

A fighter will get penalized if they test positive for Benadryl. The state athletic commission's testing policy is not based on whether or not the drug in the fighter's system is legal. They aren't writing tickets to the fighters; they're making sure the fighter's are safe.
